Why do we think that our site represents global perspectives?
Everybody knows that such problem as misunderstanding exists even in the XXI century, because unfortunately we meet it every day. Misbelieves and prejudices are one of its sources. We are sure that living in modern society means freedom from stereotypes. But even now it is sometimes hard to separate real facts from the myths, especially when we are talking about the remote areas like Siberia. What we tried to do is to dispel some of the widely-spread misbelieves about Siberia. We hope that destroying bad stereotypes helps to bridge distances between people. This will help us to build modern society without miscomprehension, prejudice and quarrel. Our site is an attempt to reach it in case of Siberia. If someone coming across our site will change his/her opinion about this region to the best, than our work was of value.
